TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present disclosure belongs to the field of medical apparatus and instruments, specifically to an intravascular stent, preparation method and use thereof.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Venous disease is most common in vascular surgical diseases, especially lower extremity deep vein thrombosis and lower extremity great saphenous vein varicosity are even more common. And a big reason for the cause of the formation of these two diseases is that it is caused by iliac vein compression. Iliac vein compression syndrome (IVCS) refers to that iliac vein is compressed by iliac artery, leading to intracavity adhesion, stenosis or occlusion, thereby resulting in a series of clinical symptoms of the syndrome, also known as May-Thurner, Cockett syndrome. The incidence of iliac vein compression syndrome is in 20% to 34%.

Venous compression has always been solved by operation in the treatment, which has been difficult to be accepted by patients due to the need for abdominal surgery and large trauma, so the number of cases reported in China is few. It results in that lower extremity swelling of many patients can not be resolved, and some patients suffer venous thrombosis due to blood stasis. Since the 1990s, with the development of interventional technology, iliac vein compression has been solved by balloon dilatation and stent implantation in China, and after nearly 20 years of clinical treatment, interventional therapy has been accepted by the vascular surgery field, and due to small trauma, it can also be accepted by patients, and many hospitals have carried out this work in China now. There are also many physicians who use this technique for patients with sequelae of iliac vein thrombosis. With the great increase in the number of clinical cases, now the arterial stent with large bore is used to treat patients with iliac vein compression syndrome in clinic, and thus an important issue appears, that is, there is a high risk of in-stent secondary thrombus, which is caused by that the arterial stent mesh is small, the arterial stent should be extended into the inferior vena cava for 1-1.5 cm due to the structure of iliac vein, and its supporting force is not designed for the vein.

At present, many Chinese and foreign research reports show that there is few stent designed for the iliac vein compression syndrome. In China, a removeable self-expanding iliac venous stent (utility model: 201520126120.6) effectively prevents pulmonary embolism caused by shed off of lower extremity deep vein clots, and after the achievement of treatment purposes, it can be removed via the jugular vein or femoral vein pathway to avoid complications resulted from stent long-term staying. A stent for the treatment of iliac vein stenosis (utility model: 201320053442.3) is woven by nickel-titanium wires into a latticed reticulated tube, the orifice of the front end of the reticulated tube is a bevel, an angle between the bevel and the cross section of the reticulated tube is 40 degrees, the reticulated tube has an oval mark ring thereon, to realize the accurate positioning. However, these iliac venous stents still have some problems: both are not suitable for the recovery of iliac venous blood flow and the increase of blood flow volume, and they easily lead to the formation of thrombosis, thus, it is necessary to carry out the research and development of new iliac venous stent as well as the application research thereof.

In the present invention, the number of the first repeating elements 11 differs from the number of the second repeating elements 211. Preferably, the number of the first repeating elements 11 is less than the number of the second repeating elements 211, and in the present embodiment, the number of the second repeating elements 211 is 2-4 times larger than the number of the first repeating elements 11, so as to ensure large hole formed by the first repeating elements 11, and after implanting the intravascular stent in iliac vein as shown in FIG. 1, the formation of thrombosis caused by a small hole of the intravascular stent or effect on the blood flow of the opposite iliac vein caused by the positioning segment 1 can be avoid when the positioning segment 1 extends to inferior vena cava.

In the present embodiment, an angle between the extending direction of the positioning segment 1 and the axis of the intravascular stent is 0°˜60°. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 28, the extending direction of the positioning segment 1 is accordance with the axis of the intravascular stent, that is, the angle is 0°, and in this condition, the intravascular stent in the expanded state is substantially cylinder-shaped.

In the present embodiment, the length L1 of the first repeating element 11 is 5-15 mm, preferably 10-15 mm, if the length of the first repeating element 11 is too long, it will cause the front ends of the first repeating elements 11 contact the opposite vessel wall and cause harmful effects such as vascular stimulation; if the length of the first repeating element 11 is too short, it will affect the positioning of the intravascular stent in iliac vein, so as to cause that the intravascular stent cannot be implanted in the desired position stably.

The length L2 of the supporting segment 2 is 40-140 mm, preferably 60-120 mm, and the length L4 of the second repeating element 211 is 1-7 mm, preferably 2-5 mm, That is, the supporting segment 2 comprises substantially sixteen supporting units 21, of course, the number of the supporting units 21 could be adjusted according to the actual requirement.

The above mentioned contents of Embodiments 1 and 2 are the same, but differ in that: in Embodiment 1, the plane formed by the front ends of the plurality of the first repeating elements 11 is vertical to the axis of the intravascular stent, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3. In Embodiment 2, the plane formed by the front ends of the plurality of the first repeating elements 11 intersects with the axis of the intravascular stent, and the angle β between the plane formed by the front ends of the plurality of the first repeating elements 11 and the axis of the intravascular stent is 45°-89°, as shown in FIGS. 7-9, wherein, in FIGS. 7-9, the angle β between the plane formed by the front ends of the plurality of the first repeating elements 11 and the axis of the intravascular stent is 70°, and in Embodiment 2, the lengths of the first repeating elements 11 vary gradually, however, the length range thereof should be in the above defined length range of the first repeating elements 11.

And the structure formed by two adjacent second repeating elements 211 of the second supporting part 51 is open-loop, so as to reduce the supporting force of the second supporting part 51 and prevent the iliac vein from being pressed by overlarge supporting force.

And the structure formed by two adjacent second repeating elements 211 of the third supporting part 61 is closed-loop, so as to uniformly expand the blood vessel stent; the vascular stent is convenient to install and release, and the stress of the blood vessel is uniform.

In other words, in the first support part 41, when viewed from front to back in the axial direction of the stent, the number of the connectors 221 in an odd-numbered row is equal to the number of the second repeating elements 211 of the supporting units 21 in the adjacent row, and the number of the connectors 221 in an even-numbered row is smaller than the number of the second repeating elements 211 of the supporting units 21 in the adjacent row. For example, the number of the connectors 221 in the first row is equal to the number of the second repeating elements 211 of the supporting units 21 in the adjacent row, and the number of the connectors 221 in the second row is less than the number of the second repeating elements 211 of the supporting units 21 in the adjacent row.
